Mad Cyril reacted to Datsuncog in Shite in Miniature II
^^^ Top detective work!
Interesting that the pedal car in the '78 Argos catalogue is registered 'WAM123S', while Bunglebus' example was 'WAM123V' - Sharna must have updated the decals each year to reflect the latest registration suffix, which is a pretty nifty touch that my junior inner pedant would have appreciated.
£16.95 in 1978 works out as just shy of £96 in today's money, so a pricey enough toy.

I had a Range-Rover styled pedal car fitted with AA decals and an amber flashing light... can't find any pics online, so I must look out some pics of it, too. Not sure who made it.

Mad Cyril reacted to Cavcraft in eBay tat volume 3.
Canine Cavorting in Cleethorpes
Break out the buckets and spades
We're going caravanning for a few days
a third world shit tip of crisps and lemonades
Seaview Campsite, run by Hades.
Mam's sister made us play out in this seaside carbuncle
as she'd be dead busy with another new uncle
do us a favour, walk to Grimbsy town
get us some more wool, here's half a crown
An' when we'd gone she'd pull out the stops
Five quid for oral, two for fingers and tops
'ang up your coat and get in the queue
keys in the fruit bowl, you're number two
Kitsch furnishings and wipe clean placcy
as Bob came to visit on his 500 Bukaki
and fornicated and frolicked on garish formica
before making his way for the next greasy biker
she'd close all the nets coz she knew for certain
he'd wipe 'is knob on Cath Kidson curtain
then 'ang up 'er knickers in the front window to dry
the white stains would come off if she bothered to try
an' in the kitchen of this sticky backed prison
more than one pork sword had been arisen
a bread bin for the nodders, a tub for the jizzm
you can't say our Carol did nowt for tourism
an' on guard old Buster was made to stay
paid like her in sausage all day
overweight and idle and fond of a bone
but that's enough of me aunty, I wanna go home.

Mad Cyril got a reaction from Ohdearme in Potentially available - Mazda 323 with pop up lights!
That's a 323F1.6GLX manual in Passion Rose. '92-'94?
Black door mirrors mean no sunroof, no ABS, wind up windows, Clarion radio cassette.
It'll have the dark interior trim with blue and green highlights (rather than the earlier light grey velour that always looked grubby).
Lovely thing.
